Who are the 70%?
In the whole "We are the 99%" debate, Andrew & I have been struck by the fact that everyone in the USA is in the 1%, given a global perspective. Perhaps it is like this with the 30% of patients who have side effects from the Neulasta shot? While Andrew has headed off to work today still "feeling great," it is clear that the Neulasta shot yesterday has taken a toll. He has felt a general achy-ness and soreness that could only be from this shot. He's tired in the afternoons at work, but that might be simply the "it's 3pm, I have a lot of reading to do, and I didn't have much coffee this morning." Yesterday a grande latte solved this. He's beat at night, but perhaps that's just normal fatigue hitting him in front of a toasty fire after an engaging day at work? [Are we too optimistic?] True to a Jones, Andrew continues to sleep pretty well. Foods with flavor taste better than those that are bland, so we'll have to be creative about serving Christmas dishes that appeal to both grandparents & grandsons who prefer the mild and Andrew who - now for the first time - can take the heat of chilis! But if this is our biggest concern over the holidays, we've got nothing to worry about.
